Abstract
Seaweed polysaccharides, particularly sulfated ones, exhibited potent antiviral activity against a wide variety of enveloped viruses, such as herpes simplex virus and respiratory viruses. Different mechanisms of action were suggested, which may range from preventing infection to intracellular antiviral activity, at different stages of the viral cycle. Herein, we generated two chemically engineered sulfated fucans (C303 and C304) from Cystoseira indica by an amalgamated extraction-sulfation procedure using chlorosulfonic acid-pyridine/N,N-dimethylformamide and sulfur trioxide-pyridine/N,N-dimethylformamide reagents, respectively. These compounds exhibited activity against HSV-1 and RSV with 50 % inhibitory concentration values in the range of 0.75-2.5 μg/mL and low cytotoxicity at concentrations up to 500 μg/mL. The antiviral activities of chemically sulfated fucans (C303 and C304) were higher than the water (C301) and CaCl2 extracted (C302) polysaccharides. Compound C303 had a (1,3)-linked fucan backbone and was branched. Sulfates were present at positions C-2, C-4, and C-2,4 of Fucp, and C-6 of Galp residues of this polymer. Compound C304 had a comparable structure but with more sulfates at C-4 of Fucp residue. Both C303 and C304 were potent antiviral candidates, acting in a dose-dependent manner on the adsorption and other intracellular stages of HSV-1 and RSV replication, in vitro.

Abstract
Marine algae are the most abundant resource in the marine environment and are still a promising source of bioactive compounds including hydrocolloids. This study contributes to the evaluation of the biological and biotechnological potentials of two water soluble polysaccharides, namely alginates (AHS) and fucoidan (FHS), extracted and purified from Halopteris scoparia, an abundant Tunisian brown macroalgae collected in Tunisia (Tabarka region). The total sugars, neutral monosaccharides, uronic acids, proteins, polyphenols, and sulfate groups contents were quantified for both fractions, as well as their functional groups and primary structural features by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, ionic and/or gas chromatography and nuclear magnetic resonance analyses. AHS and FHS showed significant anti-inflammatory (IC50 ≈ 1 mg/mL), anticoagulant (e.g., 27-61.7 for the activated partial thromboplastin time), antihyperglycemic (0.1-40 μg/mL) and anti-trypsin (IC50 ≈ 0.3-0.4 mg/mL) effects. FHS and a hydrolyzed fraction showed a very promising potential against herpes viruses (HSV-1) (IC50 < 28 μg/mL). Besides, AHS and two hydrolyzed fractions were able to stimulate the natural defenses of tomato seedlings, assessing their elicitor capacity, by increasing the activity of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (66-422 %) but also significantly changing the polyphenol content in the leaves (121-243 %) and roots (30-104 %) of tomato plants.

Abstract
Sulfated polysaccharides of brown algae, fucoidans, are known for their anticoagulant properties, similar to animal heparin. Their complex and irregular structure is the main bottleneck in standardization and in defining the relationship between their structure and bioactivity. Fucoidan-active enzymes can be effective tools to overcome these problems. In the present work, we identified the gene fwf5 encoding the fucoidan-active endo-fucanase of the GH168 family in the marine bacterium Wenyingzhuangia fucanilytica CZ1127T. The biochemical characteristics of the recombinant fucanase FWf5 were investigated. Fucanase FWf5 was shown to catalyze the endo-type cleavage of the 1→4-O-glycosidic linkages between 2-O-sulfated α-L-fucose residues in fucoidans composed of the alternating 1→3- and 1→4-linked residues of sulfated α-L-fucose. This is the first report on the endo-1→4-α-L-fucanases (EC 3.2.1.212) of the GH168 family. The endo-fucanase FWf5 was used to selectively produce high- and low-molecular-weight fucoidan derivatives containing either regular alternating 2-O- and 2,4-di-O-sulfation or regular 2-O-sulfation. The polymeric 2,4-di-O-sulfated fucoidan derivative was shown to have significantly greater in vitro anticoagulant properties than 2-O-sulfated derivatives. The results have demonstrated a new type specificity among fucanases of the GH168 family and the prospects of using such enzymes to obtain standard fucoidan preparations with regular sulfation and high anticoagulant properties.

Abstract
Fucoidans are complex fucose-containing sulfated polysaccharides with pronounced anticancer effects. Their structure-anticancer activity relationships are difficult to determine due to fucoidans' complex, often irregularities-including structures. Fucoidan-active enzymes can be used for this propose. We have investigated two new recombinant endo-fucanases FWf3 and FWf4 from the marine bacterium Wenyingzhuangia fucanilytica CZ1127T that belong to the 107 family of glycoside hydrolases (GH). Both enzymes cleaved α-(1→4)-glycosidic bonds but in fucoidan fragments with different sulfation patterns. FWf3 is the first characterized endo-fucanase that cleaves glycosidic bonds between 2O- and 2,4diO-sulfated L-fucose residues. The obtained endo-fucanases were used to produce low- and high-molecular weight fucoidan derivatives with different sulfate group locations. Low- and high-molecular weight fucoidan derivatives rich with 2,4diO-sulfation were shown to inhibit MDA-MB-231 cell colony formation more efficiently than the native fucoidan and the derivatives sulfated otherwise. Such derivatives effectively suppressed the mitochondrial membrane potential of MDA-MB-231 cells and reduced the expression of the glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1). Co-treatment of MDA-MB-231 cells with the fucoidan derivatives and oligomycin (an OXPHOS inhibitor) resulted in a synergistic anticancer effect. The data obtained demonstrate, that fucoidan and its 2,4diO-sulfated derivatives can be an effective adjunct in TNBC therapy targeting cell metabolism.

Abstract
The ear- to shell-shaped fruiting bodies of the genus Auricularia are widely used as food and in traditional medicinal remedies. This study was primarily focused on the composition, properties and potential use of the gel-forming extract from Auricularia heimuer. The dried extract contained 50% soluble homo- and heteropolysaccharides, which were mainly composed of mannose and glucose, acetyl residues, glucuronic acid and a small amount of xylose, galactose, glucosamine, fucose, arabinose and rhamnose. The minerals observed in the extract included approximately 70% potassium followed by calcium. Among the fatty and amino acids, 60% unsaturated fatty acids and 35% essential amino acids could be calculated. At both acidic (pH 4) and alkaline (pH 10) conditions, the thickness of the 5 mg/mL extract did not change in a temperature range from -24 °C to room temperature, but decreased statistically significantly after storage at elevated temperature. At neutral pH, the studied extract demonstrated good thermal and storage stability, as well as a moisture retention capacity comparable to the high molecular weight sodium hyaluronate, a well-known moisturizer. Hydrocolloids that can be sustainably produced from Auricularia fruiting bodies offer great application potential in the food and cosmetic industries.

Abstract
The self-repair capacity of human tissue is limited, motivating the arising of tissue engineering (TE) in building temporary scaffolds that envisage the regeneration of human tissues, including articular cartilage. However, despite the large number of preclinical data available, current therapies are not yet capable of fully restoring the entire healthy structure and function on this tissue when significantly damaged. For this reason, new biomaterial approaches are needed, and the present work proposes the development and characterization of innovative polymeric membranes formed by blending marine origin polymers, in a chemical free cross-linking approach, as biomaterials for tissue regeneration. The results confirmed the production of polyelectrolyte complexes molded as membranes, with structural stability resulting from natural intermolecular interactions between the marine biopolymers collagen, chitosan and fucoidan. Furthermore, the polymeric membranes presented adequate swelling ability without compromising cohesiveness (between 300 and 600%), appropriate surface properties, revealing mechanical properties similar to native articular cartilage. From the different formulations studied, the ones performing better were the ones produced with 3 % shark collagen, 3% chitosan and 10% fucoidan, as well as with 5% jellyfish collagen, 3% shark collagen, 3% chitosan and 10% fucoidan. Overall, the novel marine polymeric membranes demonstrated to have promising chemical, and physical properties for tissue engineering approaches, namely as thin biomaterial that can be applied over the damaged articular cartilage aiming its regeneration.

Abstract
Inflammation is one of the most significant causes of several chronic diseases, which includes the expression of cytokines activating immune cells to up-regulate the inflammatory cascade. Polysaccharides from marine macroalgae are promising anti-inflammatory agents because of their potential to attenuate inflammatory cytokines. The triangular sea bell Turbinaria decurrens (Sargassaceae) among marine macroalgae is ubiquitous in oceanic waters, and a sulfated polygalactofucan SPTd-2 [→3-(α-L-fucp-(2-OSO3-)-(1 → 4)-α-L-fucp-(3-OAc)-(1 → 4)-β-D-galp-(1→] was purified from the species. The studied polygalactofucan SPTd-2 exhibited anti-inflammatory activities against cyclooxygenase-2 (IC50 10.56 μM) and 5-lipoxygenase (IC50 3.36 μM) with a greater selectivity index (2.35) than ibuprofen (0.44), besides attenuating pro-inflammatory cytokine production, including tumor necrosis factor-α, transforming growth factor-β, interleukin-2, 1β, and interferon-γ. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction displayed that SPTd-2 blocked the mRNA of interferon-γ and interleukin-2, in the human monocytic cell line THP-1. The results showed the potential of SPTd-2 to attenuate inflammation-associated disorders.

Abstract
Six fucoidan fractions were isolated from the brown alga Alaria angusta. Structures of enzymatic hydrolysis products of the fraction 1AaF2 (Fuc:Gal ~ 1:1; 33 % of sulfates) by fucanase from Wenyingzhuangia fucanilytica were studied by chemical and instrumental (NMR spectroscopy and mass-spectrometry) methods. It was shown that 1AaF2 consisted of two structurally different fucoidans: a sulfated 1,3;1,4-α-L-fucan and an enzyme-resistant sulfated and acetylated complex fucogalactan (Fuc:Gal ~ 1:2; 19 % of sulfates) 1AaF2_HMP containing extended 1,3-linked fucose and 1,3/1,4-linked galactose fragments (up to 5 residues). The fractions 1AaF2 and 1AaF2_HMP were a non-cytotoxic, possessed dose-dependent chemopreventive effect on EGF-induced neoplastic cell transformation of mouse normal epidermal JB6 Cl41 cells and inhibited the colony formation of human melanoma SK-MEL-28 cells.

Abstract
Functional ingredients for human health have recently become the focus of research. One such potentially versatile therapeutic component is fucose-containing sulfated polysaccharides (FCSPs), referred to as fucoidans. The exploitation of marine brown algae provides a rich source of FCSPs because of their role as a structural component of the cell wall. Fucoidans are characterized by a sulfated fucose backbone. However, the structural characterization of FCSPs is impeded by their structural diversity, molecular weight, and complexity. The extraction and purification conditions significantly influence the yield and structural alterations. Inflammation is the preliminary response to potentially injurious inducements, and it is of the utmost importance for modulation in the proper direction. Improper manipulation and/or continuous stimuli could have detrimental effects in the long run. The web of immune responses mediated through multiple modulatory/cell signaling components can be addressed through functional ingredients, benefiting patients with no side effects. In this review, we attempted to address the involvement of FCSPs in the stimulation/downregulation of immune response cell signaling. The structural complexity and its foremost influential factor, extraction techniques, have also attracted attention, with concise details on the structural implications of bioactivity.

Abstract
Preparations of sulfated polysaccharides obtained from brown algae are known as fucoidans. These biopolymers have attracted considerable attention due to many biological activities which may find practical applications. Two Atlantic representatives of Phaeophyceae, namely, Fucus vesiculosus and Ascophyllum nodosum, belonging to the same order Fucales, are popular sources of commercial fucoidans, which often regarded as very similar in chemical composition and biological actions. Nevertheless, these two fucoidan preparations are polysaccharide mixtures which differ considerably in amount and chemical nature of components, and hence, this circumstance should be taken into account in the investigation of their biological properties and structure-activity relationships. In spite of these differences, fractions with carefully characterized structures prepared from both fucoidans may have valuable applications in drug development.

Abstract
Fucoidans are promising sulfated polysaccharides isolated from marine sources that have piqued the interest of scientists in recent years due to their widespread use as a bioactive substance. Bioactive coatings and films, unsurprisingly, have seized these substances to create novel, culinary, therapeutic, and diagnostic bioactive nanomaterials. The applications of fucoidan and its composite nanomaterials have a wide variety of food as well as pharmacological properties, including anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, anti-thrombic, anti-coagulant, immunoregulatory, and anti-viral properties. Blends of fucoidan with other biopolymers such as chitosan, alginate, curdlan, starch, etc., have shown promising coating and film-forming capabilities. A blending of biopolymers is a recommended approach to improve their anticipated properties. This review focuses on the fundamental knowledge and current development of fucoidan, fucoidan-based composite material for bioactive coatings and films, and their biological properties. In this article, fucoidan-based edible bioactive coatings and films expressed excellent mechanical strength that can prolong the shelf-life of food products and maintain their biodegradability. Additionally, these coatings and films showed numerous applications in the biomedical field and contribute to the economy. We hope this review can deliver the theoretical basis for the development of fucoidan-based bioactive material and films.

Abstract
The fucoidan SdeF was isolated from brown alga Saccharina dentigera. The structure of the obtained polysaccharide was studied by chemical methods, NMR spectroscopy of the fully and partially desulfated derivatives, and mass spectrometry of the fucoidan fragments, labeled with 18O. The SdeF was shown to be sulfated (40%) 1,3-linked α-L-fucan, with branches at C2. The sulfate groups were found at positions C2 and C4. Derivatives SdeFDS and SdeFPL were obtained by solvolytic desulfation and autohydrolysis of SdeF, respectively. According to 13C NMR data, SdeFDS is 1,3-linked α-L-fucan, while SdeFPL is 4-sulfated 1,3-linked α-L-fucan. Native fucoidan SdeF was shown to be a non-toxic anticancer substance in the model of human malignant melanoma RPMI-7951, colorectal adenocarcinoma HCT-116, and small intestine adenocarcinoma HuTu 80 cells. The partial desulfation of SdeF at C2 and/or the reduction of its Mw, from 229 to 28 kDa, decreased the anticancer activity; complete removal of the sulfated groups and/or Mw reduction to 4.7 kDa further reduced the effect of this polysaccharide.

Abstract
Fucoidans are complex bioactive sulfated fucosyl-polysaccharides primarily found in brown macroalgae. Endo-fucoidanases catalyze the specific hydrolysis of α-L-fucosyl linkages in fucoidans and can be utilized to tailor-make fucoidan oligosaccharides and elucidate new structural details of fucoidans. In this study, an endo-α(1,3)-fucoidanase encoding gene, Mef2, from the marine bacterium Muricauda eckloniae, was cloned, and the Mef2 protein was functionally characterized. Based on the primary sequence, Mef2 was suggested to belong to the glycosyl hydrolase family 107 (GH107) in the Carbohydrate Active enZyme database (CAZy). The Mef2 fucoidanase showed maximal activity at pH 8 and 35 °C, although it could tolerate temperatures up to 50 °C. Ca2+ was shown to increase the melting temperature from 38 to 44 °C and was furthermore required for optimal activity of Mef2. The substrate specificity of Mef2 was investigated, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to determine the enzymatic activity (Units per μM enzyme: Uf/μM) of Mef2 on two structurally different fucoidans, showing an activity of 1.2 × 10-3 Uf/μM and 3.6 × 10-3 Uf/μM on fucoidans from Fucus evanescens and Saccharina latissima, respectively. Interestingly, Mef2 was identified as the first described fucoidanase active on fucoidans from S. latissima. The fucoidan oligosaccharides released by Mef2 consisted of a backbone of α(1,3)-linked fucosyl residues with unique and novel α(1,4)-linked fucosyl branches, not previously identified in fucoidans from S. latissima.

Abstract
Nowadays, the application of immunomodulators in aquaculture has become of an urgent need because of high incidence of fish and shrimp diseases. For a long time, researchers have paid great interest to find suitable, relatively economical, and environmentally safe immunostimulant products to be used either as feed or water additives to boost immunity and increase the resistance of fish and shrimp against the challenging pathogens. Probiotics, prebiotics, synbiotics, phytobiotics, herbal extracts, microalgae, macroalgae, and essential oils have been extensively evaluated. Brown seaweeds (Phaeophyceae) are a large group of multi-cellular macroalgae that are widely distributed in marine aquatic environments. They are abundant in several bioactive sulfated polysaccharides known as fucoidan (FCD). Research studies demonstrated the beneficial functions of FCD in human medicine because of its immunomodulating, antioxidant, anti-allergic, antitumor, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and hepatoprotective effects. In aquaculture, several researchers have tested the benefits and potential applications of FCD in aquafeed. This literature review provides an updated information and key references of research studies that focused principally on using FCD in aquaculture. Its effects on growth, intestinal health, antioxidant capacity, and immune responses of several finfish and shellfish species will be discussed. This review paper will also highlight the potential efficacy and mechanisms of FCD in the modulation of toxicity signs and increasing the resistance of fish and shrimp against bacterial and viral infections. Hence, this contribution will be valuable to maintain aquaculture sustainability and to improve the health and welfare of farmed fish and shrimp.

Abstract
Seaweeds are macroalgae, which can be of many different morphologies, sizes, colors, and chemical profiles. They include brown, red, and green seaweeds. Brown seaweeds have been more investigated and exploited in comparison to other seaweed types for their use in animal feeding studies due to their large sizes and ease of harvesting. Recent in vitro and in vivo studies suggest that plant secondary compound-containing seaweeds (e.g., halogenated compounds, phlorotannins, etc.) have the potential to mitigate enteric methane (CH4) emissions from ruminants when added to the diets of beef and dairy cattle. Red seaweeds including Asparagopsis spp. are rich in crude protein and halogenated compounds compared to brown and green seaweeds. When halogenated-containing red seaweeds are used as the active ingredient in ruminant diets, bromoform concentration can be used as an indicator of anti-methanogenic properties. Phlorotannin-containing brown seaweed has also the potential to decrease CH4 production. However, numerous studies examined the possible anti-methanogenic effects of marine seaweeds with inconsistent results. This work reviews existing data associated with seaweeds and in vitro and in vivo rumen fermentation, animal performance, and enteric CH4 emissions in ruminants. Increased understanding of the seaweed supplementation related to rumen fermentation and its effect on animal performance and CH4 emissions in ruminants may lead to novel strategies aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions while improving animal productivity.

Carbohydr Polym 2021; 273:118551. [PMID: 34560963 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2021.118551] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2021] [Revised: 08/05/2021] [Accepted: 08/07/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Fucoidans are biologically active sulfated polysaccharides of brown algae. They have a great structural diversity and a wide spectrum of biological activity. This review is intended to outline what is currently known about the structures of fucoidans and their radioprotective effect. We classified fucoidans according to their composition and structure, examined the structure of fucoidans of individual representatives of algae, summarized the available data on changes in the yields and compositions of fucoidans during algae development, and focused on information about underexplored radioprotective effect of these polysaccharides. Based on the presented in the review data, it is possible to select algae, which are the sources of fucoidans of desired structures and to determine the best time to harvest them. The use of high purified polysaccharides with established structures increase the value of studies of their biological effects and the determination of the dependence "structure - biological effect".

Abstract
Polymeric β-chitosan allomorph characterized by parallel arrangement of linear polysaccharide comprised of β-(1 → 4)-linked-D-glucosamine and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine was isolated and characterized from the gladius of Indian Ocean Squid (Uroteuthis duvaucelii) and spineless cuttlefish (Sepiella inermis). The β-chitosan from U. duvaucelii displayed considerably greater attenuation potential against hydroxymethylglutaryl coenzyme-A reductase, dipeptidyl peptidase-4, I converting enzyme, and 5-lipoxygenase (IC50 0.15-0.53 mg mL-1) than those exhibited by α-chitosan of comparable molecular weight. Comparatively lesser conformational rigidity of β-chitin could result in its greater susceptibility to deacetylation (86-87%) contrasted to the α-allomorph (~83%), consequently delivering enhanced functionalities than those exhibited by α-chitosan. Porous β-chitosan scaffolds displayed an average pore size of lesser than 50 μm, and its binding capacity was significantly higher than that exhibited by α-chitosan (p < 0.05). Potential pharmacological activities reinforced by lesser binding affinities and intermolecular energy of β-chitosan with the target enzymes recognized its prospective biomedical applications.

Abstract
Fucoidan is a sulfated polysaccharide with various bioactivities. The application of fucoidan in cancer treatment, wound healing, and food industry has been extensively studied. However, the therapeutic value of fucoidan in cardiovascular diseases has been less explored. Increasing number of investigations in the past years have demonstrated the effects of fucoidan on cardiovascular system. In this review, we will focus on the bioactivities related to cardiovascular applications, for example, the modulation functions of fucoidan on coagulation system, inflammation, and vascular cells. Factors mediating those activities will be discussed in detail. Current therapeutic strategies and future opportunities and challenges will be provided to inspire and guide further research.

Abstract
This study was aimed to determine the efficacy of combination of fucoidan from the brown algae Fucus evanescens (FeF) or its derivatives with thornasteroside A (ThA) or asteropsiside A (AsA) from the starfish Asteropsis carinifera in combating human melanoma cells. In vitro MTS and soft agar methods were performed to determine effect of FeF, its derivatives, ThA, AsA or their combination on proliferation and colony formation of SK-MEL-28 cells in 2D and 3D culture. Desulfation of FeF, but not deacetylation, led decreasing of its Mw and anti-proliferative activity. The combinatorial effect of FeF with ThA and AsA depended on the sequences of treatment by compounds. There was additive anticancer effect of FeF with ThA or AsA during simultaneous treatment of cells. ThA and AsA were not active against SK-MEL-28 cells after their pre-treatment with FeF. Potential synergism of action was identified only when SK-MEL-28 cells were pre-treated with ThA and AsA and then by FeF. This process going through the regulation of MEK1/2/ERK1/2/MSK1 pathway and expression of the cell cycle proteins as determined by Western Blot. Thus, the combination of fucoidan with the asterosaponins opens up the prospects for the development of effective combined chemotherapeutic methods for melanoma treatment.

Abstract
Seaweed and its extracts have been developed as fertilizers because they possess plant-growth-promoting and antibacterial compounds. For use as fertilizers, the major carbohydrates in seaweed, including fucoidan and alginate, need to be efficiently digested in the soil. We isolated fucoidan/alginate degrading bacteria from paddy soil and verified its use as a biofertilizer. Results show that Stenotrophomonas pavanii has a high alginate degrading activity, and also stimulating melon, pepper, and tomato growth. The growth stimulation effect of the bacteria was enhanced by alginate treatment. Bacillus sp. was isolated as a fucoidan degrading bacterium and this bacterium was also able to stimulate melon growth. Using 16S ribosomal DNA analysis, fucoidan/alginate resistant or susceptible bacteria were successively selected. Bacteria with increased population due to fucoidan and alginate had specificity to each carbohydrate, whereas those with decreased population showed susceptibility to both carbohydrates. This report demonstrates some bacteria for their use as biofertilizers with seaweed and demonstrated that a high throughput method is efficient in identifying bacteria with specific properties.

Abstract
Consumption of marine alga-based polysaccharides as additional functional foods can endow with health benefits by diminishing the risk of chronic diseases. A polygalacto-fucopyranose characterized as [→1)-2, 4-SO3-α-Fucp-(3 → 1)-{2-SO3-α-Fucp-(3→}] with [(4 → 1)-6-OAc-β-Galp-(4→] side chain isolated from marine alga Sargassum wightii exhibited potential antihypertensive activity. Upon treatment with studied polygalactofucan (50 mg/kg BW), serum hypertension biomarkers troponin-T (1.3 pg/mL), troponin-I (1.2 μg/dL) and angiotensin-II converting enzyme (0.18 pg/mL) were significantly recovered in hypertensive rats compared to disease control. Serum cardiovascular risk indices of diseased rats were significantly decreased (< 10%, p < 0.05) after administration of the studied galactofucan (50 mg/kg BW) related to hypertension group (> 17%), and were comparable with standard antihypertensive agent telmisartan (8.3-10.2% at 2 mg/kg BW). The studied compound was safe for consumption as obvious from the high LD50 value (>5 g/kg), and could be developed as a prospective functional food ingredient attenuating the pathophysiological attributes causing hypertension-related conditions.

Abstract
Fucoidans are cell wall polysaccharides found in various species of brown seaweeds. They are fucose-containing sulfated polysaccharides (FCSPs) and comprise 5-20% of the algal dry weight. Fucoidans possess multiple bioactivities, including antioxidant, anticoagulant, antithrombotic, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, anti-lipidemic, anti-metastatic, anti-diabetic and anti-cancer effects. Dietary fucoidans provide small but constant amounts of FCSPs to the intestinal tract, which can reorganize the composition of commensal microbiota altered by FCSPs, and consequently control inflammation symptoms in the intestine. Although the bioactivities of fucoidans have been well described, there is limited evidence to implicate their effect on gut microbiota and bowel health. In this review, we summarize the recent studies that introduce the fundamental characteristics of various kinds of fucoidans and discuss their potential in altering commensal microorganisms and influencing intestinal diseases.

Abstract
Fucoidans are a class of sulfated fucose-containing bioactive polysaccharides produced by brown algae. The biological effects exhibited by fucoidans are thought to be related to their sulfation. However, the lack of methods for sulfation control does not allow for a reliable conclusion about the influence of the position of certain sulfate groups on the observed biological effects. We identified the gene encoding the endo-acting fucoidan sulfatase swf5 in the marine bacterium Wenyingzhuangia fucanilytica CZ1127T. This is the first report on the sequence of fucoidan endo-sulfatase. Sulfatase SWF5 belongs to the subfamily S1_22 of the family S1. SWF5 was shown to remove 4O-sulfation in fucoidans composed from the alternating α-(1→3)- and α-(1→4)-linked residues of sulfated L-fucose but not from fucoidans with the α-(1→3)-linked backbone. The endo-sulfatase was used to selectively prepare 4O-desulfated fucoidan derivatives. It was shown that the 4O-desulfated fucoidans inhibit colony formation of DLD-1 and MCF-7 cells less effectively than unmodified fucoidans. Presumably, 4O-sulfation makes a significant contribution to the anticancer activity of fucoidans.

Abstract
Currently, seaweeds are gaining major attention due to the benefits they give to our health. Recent studies demonstrate the high nutritional value of seaweeds and the powerful properties that seaweeds' bioactive compounds provide. Species of class Phaeophyceae, phylum Rhodophyta and Chlorophyta possess unique compounds with several properties that are potential allies of our health, which make them valuable compounds to be involved in biotechnological applications. In this review, the health benefits given by consumption of seaweeds as whole food or by assumption of bioactive compounds trough natural drugs are highlighted. The use of seaweeds in agriculture is also highlighted, as they assure soils and crops free from chemicals; thus, it is advantageous for our health. The addition of seaweed extracts in food, nutraceutical, pharmaceutical and industrial companies will enhance the production and consumption/usage of seaweed-based products. Therefore, there is the need to implement the research on seaweeds, with the aim to identify more bioactive compounds, which may assure benefits to human and animal health.

Abstract
Fucoidans are a diverse class of sulfated polysaccharides integral to the cell wall of brown algae, and due to their various bioactivities, they are potential drugs. Standardized work with fucoidans is required for structure-function studies, but remains challenging since available fucoidan preparations are often contaminated with other algal compounds. Additionally, fucoidans are structurally diverse depending on species and season, urging the need for standardized purification protocols. Here, we use ion-exchange chromatography to purify different fucoidans and found a high structural diversity between fucoidans. Ion-exchange chromatography efficiently removes the polysaccharides alginate and laminarin and other contaminants such as proteins and phlorotannins across a broad range of fucoidans from major brown algal orders including Ectocarpales, Laminariales and Fucales. By monomer composition, linkage analysis and NMR characterization, we identified galacturonic acid, glucuronic acid and O-acetylation as new structural features of certain fucoidans and provided a novel structure of fucoidan from Durvillaea potatorum with α-1,3-linked fucose backbone and β-1,6 and β-1,3 galactose branches. This study emphasizes the use of standardized ion-exchange chromatography to obtain defined fucoidans for subsequent molecular studies.

Abstract
Cell walls of seaweeds contain a wide number of organic and inorganic constituents, of which polysaccharides have important biological activity. Some researchers suggest that polysaccharides from seaweeds can behave as biotic elicitors in viticulture, triggering the synthesis of phenolic compounds in leaves and grape berries. The mechanism of action of seaweeds after a foliar application to grapevines is not fully understood but it is discussed in this review. An overview of the recent research focused on the effects of seaweeds foliar applications on grapevine productivity, on grape and wine quality is included as well as a short-term future perspective for the research in this field.

Abstract
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) has been widely used as an analytical chemistry technique to investigate the molecular structure and conformation of polysaccharides. Combined with 1D spectra, chemical shifts and coupling constants in both homo- and heteronuclear 2D NMR spectra are able to infer the linkage and sequence of sugar residues. Besides, NMR has also been applied in conformation, quantitative analysis, cell wall in situ, degradation, polysaccharide mixture interaction analysis, as well as carbohydrates impurities profiling. This review summarizes the principle and development of NMR in polysaccharides analysis, and provides NMR spectra data collections of some common polysaccharides. It will help to promote the application of NMR in complex polysaccharides of biochemical interest, and provide valuable information on commercial polysaccharide products.

Abstract
Seaweed-based cosmetics are being gradually used by consumers as a substitute of synthetic equivalent products. These seaweed-based products normally contain purified compounds or extracts with several compounds. Several seaweeds’ molecules already demonstrated a high potential as a cosmetic active ingredient (such as, mycosporine-like amino acids, fucoidan, pigments, phenolic compounds) or as a key element for the products consistency (agar, alginate, carrageenan). Moreover, seaweeds’ compounds present important qualities for cosmetic application, such as low cytotoxicity and low allergens content. However, seaweeds’ biochemical profile can be variable, and the extraction methods can cause the loss of some of the biomolecules. This review gives a general look at the seaweed cosmetics benefits and its current application in the cosmetic industry. Moreover, it focuses on the ecological and sustainable scope of seaweed exploitation to guarantee a safe source of ingredients for the cosmetic industry and consumers.

Abstract
Polysaccharide fractions of alginate, laminarans and fucoidans were obtained from the brown alga Tauya basicrassa. Yields of alginate and laminarans were large (19.7 % and 5.62 %, respectively), whereas the content of fucoidans (0.52 %) was not significant. Alginate and laminarans had typical structures for those substances. Fucoidans were low- and medium-sulfated heterogeneous polysaccharides. The fucoidan fraction 1TbF1 was sulfated fucogalactan containing a backbone from 1,6-linked residues of β-d-galactopyranose with branches at C3 and C4, terminal fucose and galactose residues and fragments from 1,3-; 1,4-; and 1,2-fucose residues. Sulfate groups were found at positions 2 and 4 of fucose, and positions 2, 3 and 4 of galactose residues. Laminaran 2TbL was subjected to a sulfation to obtain the derivative 2TbLS with partial sulfation (46 %) at C2, C4 and C6. It was shown that 2TbL and 2TbLS inhibited colony formation of sensitize-tested colon cancer cells HT-29 and HCT-116 to X-ray radiation.

Abstract
Allergic diseases are among the commonest causes of chronic ill-health and are rapidly rising the prevalence and complexity. Although the current drugs are efficacy for treatment of allergic diseases, however the extensive clinical use of these drugs has led to the diverse and undesirable side effects. Thus, the extensive studies of alternative anti-allergic agents from natural products are essential for a long-term purpose. Marine environment covers a huge source of extremely potential secondary metabolites for drug discovery. Among them, fucoidans from brown seaweeds have been evidenced to possess various biological activities and health benefit effects. Notably, a great deal of interest has been expressed regarding anti-allergic activity of fucoidans. Consequently, this contribution presents an overview of potential anti-allergic therapeutics of fucoidans from brown seaweeds to emphasize its functions in prevention as well as treatment of allergic diseases.

Abstract
In the current review, compositional data on fucoidans extracted from more than hundred different species were surveyed through the available literature. The analysis of crude extracts, purified extracts or carefully isolated fractions is included in tabular form, discriminating the seaweed source by its taxonomical order (and sometimes the family). This survey was able to encounter some similarities between the different species, as well as some differences. Fractions which were obtained through anion-exchange chromatography or cationic detergent precipitation showed the best separation patterns: the fractions with low charge correspond mostly to highly heterogeneous fucoidans, containing (besides fucose) other monosaccharides like xylose, galactose, mannose, rhamnose, and glucuronic acid, and contain low-sulfate/high uronic acid proportions, whereas those with higher total charge usually contain mainly fucose, accompanied with variable proportions of galactose, are highly sulfated and show almost no uronic acids. The latter fractions are usually the most biologically active. Fractions containing intermediate proportions of both polysaccharides appear at middle ionic strengths. This pattern is common for all the orders of brown seaweeds, and most differences appear from the seaweed source (habitat, season), and from the diverse extraction, purification, and analytitcal methods. The Dictyotales appear to be the most atypical order, as usually large proportions of mannose and uronic acids appear, and thus they obscure the differences between the fractions with different charge. Within the family Alariaceae (order Laminariales), the presence of sulfated galactofucans with high galactose content (almost equal to that of fucose) is especially noteworthy.

Abstract
Fucoidans are marine sulfated biopolysaccharides that have heterogenous and complicated chemical structures. Various sugar monomers, glycosidic linkages, molecular masses, branching sites, and sulfate ester pattern and content are involved within their backbones. Additionally, sources, downstream processes, and geographical and seasonal factors show potential effects on fucoidan structural characteristics. These characteristics are documented to be highly related to fucoidan potential activities. Therefore, numerous chemical qualitative and quantitative determinations and structural elucidation methods are conducted to characterize fucoidans regarding their physicochemical and chemical features. Characterization of fucoidan polymers is considered a bottleneck for further biological and industrial applications. Consequently, the obtained results may be related to different activities, which could be improved afterward by further functional modifications. The current article highlights the different spectrometric and nonspectrometric methods applied for the characterization of native fucoidans, including degree of purity, sugar monomeric composition, sulfation pattern and content, molecular mass, and glycosidic linkages.

Abstract
Macroalgae are the diverse group of photosynthetic algae found at the intertidal regions of oceans. Recent advances suggest that macroalgal derived glycans have tremendous potential to maintain gut microbiome and immune system. The human gut bacteria harbor unique arsenals for utilizing a variety of macroalgal glycans, and produce a variety of oligosaccharides in vivo. Those oligosaccharides interact with immune cell receptors, and also are available for microbial fermentation, thus play magnificent roles in balancing the gut homeostasis. However, this area of research is still in infancy condition in term to understand their molecular interactions. For wooing this area, we urge to emphasize more studies on mechanistic level sympathetic of depolymerizing marine dietary glycans by gut bacteria and elucidating molecular aspect of glycans to cell receptors interactions. This will invent new nutraceutical strategies to purposefully manipulate the microbial composition to improve health. Therefore, review focuses on the recent development of mechanistic understanding of human gut bacterial communities for utilizing macroalgal derived glycans. Recent trends of application of glycans in modulating immune system at mechanistic level and their available evidences are discussed.

Abstract
Fucoidan is a complex polysaccharide (molecular weight 10,000-100,000 Da) derived from brown algae which comprises of L-fucose and sulfate groups have potential as therapeutic diligences against several human diseases. The fucoidan has expanded a widespread range of pharmacological properties as an anti-inflammatory, anticoagulant, antiangiogenic, immunomodulatory, anti-adhesive, anticancer, antidiabetic, antiviral and anti-neurodegenerative agents owing to their diverse chemical conformation and potent antioxidant activity. The antioxidant and immunomodulatory activities of the fucoidan contribute towards their disease preventive potency through dynamic modulation of key intracellular signalling pathways, regulation of ROS accumulation, and maintenance of principal cell survival and death pathways. Additionally, it also reduces cancer-associated cachexia. Despite the wide range of therapeutic potency, the fucoidan is heavily regarded as an unexplored plethora of druggable entities in the current situation. The isolation, screening, biological application, pre-clinical, and clinical assessment along with large scale cost-effective production remain a foremost task to be assessed. Moreover, the chemical synthesis of the present bioactive drug with confirmational rearrangement for enhanced availability and bioactivity also need tenacious investigation. Hence, in the present review, we give attention to the source of isolation of fucoidan, their principle strategic deployment in disease prevention, and the mechanistic investigation of how it works to combat different diseases that can be used for future therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
Seaweeds (marine macroalgae) are autotrophic organisms capable of producing many compounds of interest. For a long time, seaweeds have been seen as a great nutritional resource, primarily in Asian countries to later gain importance in Europe and South America, as well as in North America and Australia. It has been reported that edible seaweeds are rich in proteins, lipids and dietary fibers. Moreover, they have plenty of bioactive molecules that can be applied in nutraceutical, pharmaceutical and cosmetic areas. There are historical registers of harvest and cultivation of seaweeds but with the increment of the studies of seaweeds and their valuable compounds, their aquaculture has increased. The methodology of cultivation varies from onshore to offshore. Seaweeds can also be part of integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA), which has great opportunities but is also very challenging to the farmers. This multidisciplinary field applied to the seaweed aquaculture is very promising to improve the methods and techniques; this area is developed under the denominated industry 4.0.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis is a chronic disease characterized by lipid accumulation and chronic inflammation of the arterial wall, which is the pathological basis for coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease and thromboembolic disease. Currently, there is a lack of low-cost therapeutic agents that effectively slow the progression of atherosclerosis. Therefore, the development of new drugs is urgently needed. The research and development of marine-derived drugs have gained increasing interest from researchers across the world. Many marine organisms provide a rich material basis for the development of atherosclerotic drugs. This review focuses on the latest technological advances in the structures and mechanisms of action of marine-derived anti-atherosclerotic substances and the challenges of the application of these substances including marine polysaccharides, proteins and peptides, polyunsaturated fatty acids and small molecule compounds. Here, we describe the theoretical basis of marine biological resources in the treatment of atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Fucoidan is a complex sulfated polysaccharide and an active component found in the cell wall of brown seaweeds. In the present study, fucoidans were obtained from Sargassum fusiforme using different extraction methods, including hot water (prepared fucoidan was named as WSFF), dilute hydrochloric acid (ASFF), and calcium chloride solution (CSFF). The assessments were performed on S. fusiforme fucoidans based on their chemical composition, molecular conformations, and in vitro antioxidant activities. ASFF showed the maximum extraction yield (11.24%), whereas CSFF exhibited the minimum yield (3.94%). The monosaccharide composition of WSFF, ASFF, and CSFF was similar, but the molar ratio of monosaccharide was quite different. Moreover, their molecular weight, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrum, surface morphology, uronic acid content and degree of sulfation were distinct. The Congo red test and Circular dichroism spectroscopy analysis displayed some differences in solution conformation of these samples. Furthermore, WSFF, ASFF, and CSFF showed distinct in vitro antioxidant activities evaluated by DPPH and hydroxyl radical scavenging assays. The present study provides scientific evidence on the influences of extraction methods on the physicochemical characteristics, conformation behaviors and antioxidant activities of S. fusiforme fucoidans.

Int J Biol Macromol 2020; 163:1223-1232.

Abstract
Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) is a multifunctional enzyme involved in translation of angiotensin-I (AngI) to vasoconstrictor angiotensin-II (AngII). A sulfated N-acetylglucosamino-glucuronopyranosyl-arabinopyranan characterized as poly-[(2-methoxy-β-arabinopyranosyl)-(1 → 3)-(β-glucurono)-(1 → 4)-(2-acetamido-2-deoxy-3,6-di-O-sulfonato-β-glucopyranose)] was purified and reported first time from the edible portion of Amphioctopus neglectus and evaluated for various pharmacological properties. The polysaccharide exhibited potential ACE attenuation property (IC50 0.11 mg mL-1), whereas molecular docking simulations displayed its efficient binding at the ACE active site with lesser inhibitory constant (Ki) of 17.36 nM and binding energy (-10.59 kcal mol-1). The in-vitro analysis showed that the studied polysacharide attenuated AngII prompted cardiac hypertrophy at 50 μg mL-1 in the cardiomyoblast cells, whereas 48% reduction in cellular surface area with extended viability could be correlated with anti-hypertrophic properties of the studied polysaccharide. The sulfated N-acetylglucosamino-glucuronopyranosyl-arabinopyranan purified from A. neglectus could function as a prospective functional lead against the pathophysiological conditions leading to hypertension.

Abstract
The aim of this paper is to review the multiplicity of the current uses of marine macroalgae. Seaweeds are already used in many products and for different purposes, from food products to medicine. They are a natural resource that can provide a number of compounds with beneficial bioactivities like antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-aging effects, among others. Despite studies directed in prospecting for their properties and the commodities already marketed, they could, surely, be even more researched and sustainably explored.

J Food Biochem 2019; 44:e13082. [PMID: 31633813 DOI: 10.1111/jfbc.13082] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2019] [Revised: 09/07/2019] [Accepted: 09/29/2019] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
A previously undescribed xylated glycosaminoglycan characterized as β-D-Xylop(1 → 3)-(⋯ → 4)-GlcpA(1 → 3)-GlcpNAc(1 → ⋯) was purified from the buccinid gastropod Babylonia spirata and was evaluated for pharmacological properties using different in vitro models. The glycosaminoglycan-xylopyranan displayed prospective free radical quenching activities (IC50 < 0.7 mg/ml), whereas it exhibited potentially greater attenuation against the inductive proinflammatory enzyme 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX, IC50 0.36 mg/ml) than the synthetic nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug aspirin (0.42). Gel permeation chromatography analysis specified the average molecular mass of the purified polysaccharide to be 231.88 kDa. The linkage sites, anomeric configuration, and the sequence of sugar residues of the purified xylated glycosaminoglycan were attributed by the inter-residue correlation obtained via two-dimensional nuclear resonance spectroscopic techniques. The results specified that the studied compound was composed of GlcpA(1 → 3)-GlcpNAc (1 → ⋯) disaccharide repeating unit in the glycosaminoglycan backbone, with the xylose residues branching as C-3 substituents of the GlcpA. . PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: The edible marine buccinid mollusk Babylonia spirata is a gastropod species of economic significance in the coastal regions of peninsular India. A previously unreported xylated glycosaminoglycan with a β-D-Xylop(1 → 3)-(⋯ → 4)-GlcpA(1 → 3)-GlcpNAc(1 → ⋯) framework was isolated to homogenity and was found to possess potential antioxidant and 5-lipoxygenase attenuation activities. The isolated metabolite might be anticipated as potential naturally-derived bioactive constituent in functional food and pharmaceutical applications.

Abstract
The sulfated α-l-fucans ScF and LlF were obtained from brown algae of the Laminariaceae family (Saccharina cichorioides and Laminaria longipes). According to spectroscopy NMR, the LlF fucan predominantly contained the →3)-α-l-Fucp-(2SO3-)-(1→4)-α-l-Fucp-(1→2)-α-l-Fucp-(4SO3-)-(1→ repeating units, with small amounts of disaccharide 1,4-linked fragments and 3-sulfated fucose residues. Mass spectrometric analysis revealed the presence of the following fragments in the fucan structure: α-l-Fucp-(2SO3-)-(1→4)-α-l-Fucp-(2SO3-)-(1→3)-α-l-Fucp-(4SO3-); α-l-Fucp-(2,4SO3-)-(1→3)-α-l-Fucp-(1→3)-α-l-Fucp-(4SO3-); α-l-Fucp-(2SO3-)-(1→2)-α-l-Fucp; α-l-Fucp-(2SO3-)-(1→2)-α-l-Fucp-(4SO3-); α-l-Fucp-(2SO3-)-(1→3)-α-l-Fucp; α-l-Fucp-(2,4SO3-)-(1→3)-α-l-Fucp; α-l-Fucp-(4SO3-)-(1→4)-α-l-Fucp; and α-l-Fucp-(4SO3-)-(1→4)-α-l-Fucp-(2SO3-). Both ScF and LlF fucoidans inhibited colony formation and growth of melanoma and colon cancer cells and sensitize-tested cancer cells to X-ray radiation to a comparable degree.

Abstract
The aim of the present study is to fabricate hydrogel as a photosensitizer (PS) for photodynamic therapy. Chlorin e6 (Ce6)-fucoidan/alginates@gellam gum (Ce6-Fu/AL@GG)-based hydrogel was fabricated and characterised in terms of morphology and functional groups. MTT assay was used to check toxicity and also performed scratch assay for wound healing property of Ce6-Fu/AL@GGH. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) confirmed the existence of physical interactions between polysaccharides. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis confirmed a decrease in the thermal stability of the fabricated hydrogel. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Transmission electron microscope (TEM) images demonstrated porous matrixes representing homogeneous dispersion of nanoparticles in the hydrogel. Cytotoxicity tests revealed that a decrease in the cell viability occurred in PDT after 48 h treatment. Both Ce6 and laser irradiation induced the HT-29 apoptotic effect that was mediated by intracellular ROS generation and mitochondrial damage. The laser-treated hydrogel was effective in inhibiting HT-29 cell growth. Ce6-Fu/AL@GG hydrogel can be a promising platform for PDT on cancer treatment.

Abstract
The brown seaweed Scytosiphon lomentaria produces moderate amounts of fucoidans. By cetrimide fractionation, typical heavily sulfated galactofucans are obtained, with no major signs of chemical heterogeneity, together with fractions with higher proportions of xylose, mannose and uronic acids. Anyway, fucose is the most important monosaccharide in most of the subfractions of the subsequent extracts. The fucan moieties appear to be mostly as 3-linked α-l-fucopyranosyl units, with several patterns of sulfate and branching. Galactose is mostly 6-linked, whereas mannose appears to be 2-linked, and xylose appears mostly as terminal stubs. Small amounts of 2-O-acetylated fucose units appear. A high and selective antiviral activity against HSV-1 and HSV-2 was determined for the galactofucan fractions whereas the uronofucoidans were inactive.

Abstract
The marine acid polysaccharide fucoidan has attracted attention from both the food and pharmaceutical industries due to its promising therapeutic effects. Fucoidan is a polysaccharide that mainly consists of L-fucose and sulphate groups. Its excellent biological function is attributed to its unique biological structure. Classical activities include antitumor, antioxidant, anticoagulant, antithrombotic, immunoregulatory, antiviral and anti-inflammatory effects. More recently, fucoidan has been shown to alleviate metabolic syndrome, protect the gastrointestinal tract, benefit angiogenesis and bone health. This review focuses on the progress in our understanding of the biological activities of fucoidan, highlighting its benefits for the treatment of human disease. We hope that this review can provide some theoretical basis and inspiration for the product development of fucoidan.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES: The present study aims to investigate the anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of seagrass Halophila ovalis sulfated polysaccharide on HT-29 cell line. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Monosaccharides composition was identified using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and the functional groups were analyzed using Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potential of crude extract and purified fractions was investigated in vitro. RESULTS: FT-IR spectra revealed that the presence of different functional groups and the presence of galactose (82.4%), xylose (7.6%), fructose (4.0%), mannose (2.0%), fucose (1.6%), glucose (1.2%), and arabinose (1.0%) was observed using LC-MS. Ho-SP and its fractions showed radical scavenging activity in hydroxyl, 2-azinobis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid, and ferric reducing antioxidant power assay in a dose-dependent manner. Noticeable anti-inflammatory activity of purified fraction Ho FrIV (IC
50= 43.85 μg/ml) was observed in a noncytotoxic range of concentrations and inhibited the tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)-induced interleukin-8 (IL-8) secretion (0.27 ng/ml) in HT-29 cell line. CONCLUSION: Overall, the results presented in this study suggest that purified fraction Ho FrIV of Ho-SP could suppress the TNF-α-induced secretion of IL-8 in HT-29 and thus could be used as a promising antioxidant and anti-inflammatory candidate with potential benefits.

Abstract
Fucosylated oligosaccharide (FO) is known to selectively promote the growth of probiotic bacteria and is currently marketed as a functional health food and prebiotic in infant formula. Despite widespread interest in FO among functional food customers, high production costs due to high raw material costs, especially those related to fucose, are a significant production issue. Therefore, several actions are required before efficient large-scale operations can occur, including (i) identification of inexpensive raw materials from which fucosylated oligosaccharides may be produced and (ii) development of production methods to which functional food consumers will not object (e.g., no genetically modified organisms (GMOs)). Undaria pinnatifida, commonly called Miyeok in Korea, is a common edible brown seaweed plentiful on the shores of the Korean peninsula. In particular, the sporophyll of Undaria pinnatifida contains significant levels of l-fucose in the form of fucoidan (a marine sulfated polysaccharide). If the l-fucose present in Undaria pinnatifida sporophyll was capable of being separated and recovered, l-fucose molecules could be covalently joined to other monosaccharides via glycosidic linkages, making this FO manufacturing technology of value in the functional food market. In our previous work, β-galactosidase (EC 3.2.2.23) from Bifidobacterium longum RD47 (B. longum RD47) was found to have transglycosylation activity and produce FO using purified l-fucose and lactose as substrates (reference). In this research, crude fucodian hydrolysates were separated and recovered from edible seaweed (i.e., U. pinnatifida sporophyll). The extracted l-fucose was purified via gel permeation and ion exchange chromatographies and the recovered l-fucose was used to synthesize FO. B. longum RD47 successfully transglycosilated and produced FO using l-fucose derived from Undaria pinnatifida and lactose as substrates. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of synthesized FO using Bifidobacterium spp.

Abstract
Fucoidan is a natural derived compound found in different species of brown algae and in some animals, that has gained attention for its anticancer properties. However, the exact mechanism of action is currently unknown. Therefore, this review will address fucoidans structure, the bioavailability, and all known different pathways affected by fucoidan, in order to formulate fucoidans structure and activity in relation to its anti-cancer mechanisms. The general bioactivity of fucoidan is difficult to establish due to factors like species-related structural diversity, growth conditions, and the extraction method. The main pathways influenced by fucoidan are the PI3K/AKT, the MAPK pathway, and the caspase pathway. PTEN seems to be important in the fucoidan-mediated effect on the AKT pathway. Furthermore, the interaction with VEGF, BMP, TGF-β, and estrogen receptors are discussed. Also, fucoidan as an adjunct seems to have beneficial effects, for both the enhanced effectiveness of chemotherapy and reduced toxicity in healthy cells. In conclusion, the multipotent character of fucoidan is promising in future anti-cancer treatment. However, there is a need for more specified studies of the structure⁻activity relationship of fucoidan from the most promising seaweed species.
